Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

I just hung a 42" Plasma running on a dual core sli rig that pumps out an awesome image. Gonna play some games.
Words are useless.
I'm gonna post pics and go sit out there. :)

How do you keep the robbers away? Pit bull?

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

Awesome, Scott!:tu Enjoy it, Bro!:)

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

I've always wanted a sittin' porch (as opposed to a simple stoop). That's one right purty place to sit a spell!

Great smoking spot you've got there. :tu

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

that looks great, how do you keep the weather from damaging the equip? cover?

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

Holy Suhweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet Porches Batman!! :jd

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.

The fear of certain death seems to work okay.
Ya steal stuff around here, you get dead for it. It's a no crime community, pretty much.
Other than junkies climbing in your windows, it's easy livin'.
Handguns and baseball bats take care of that.
I'm a very light sleeper, too. I have motion lights and an attack cat, too.

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

Right now I throw a couple sheets over the stuff.
I'll make nice covers eventually. I have a lot more work to do on the tower, software, and everything. Once it's all finished, I'll likely build everything into a cabinet of some sort.
No rush.
In the winter, I'll bring everything back in the house.

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

Wow

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

Pretty nice there Scott, I like that!

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

I worked on that machine all night, smoked a cigar, and it's downloading all my games from Steam. I'm gonna play some Half Life II and Day of Defeat if I get time tomorrow.
I gotta get cable out there, too.
I also have to figure out how to get my sound card hooked up to the tv so I have some sweet speakers.
Awww, I'm such a sped.

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

Plasma + static desktop?

As a PDP owner, I know as well as any that burn-in is a thing of the past, but IR is still a grievance, especially with a reoccurring static image like that.

Why the choice of a PDP over an LCD for such a setup?

Other than that... cool deal. :tu

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

nice set-up

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

Scott is big pimpin! Are you famous now or something? :r

Looks relaxing!

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

Very sweet set up for the summer!!

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

I think I just wet myself.

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

AWESOME! Just AWESOME!:ss

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

Very nice! :tu

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

You must really trust your neighbors and their friends Scott!

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

Very nice setup, Scott. :tu

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

very nice setup there!!!

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

Toshiba has a built in static image mover. It won't allow burn in, even though it's bs in the first place. If the image stays static too long, it moves it a little to the left or right or up or down. It continues to do so to make sure everything is okay, and doesn't do it when things keep moving.

That was a plasma I had for my office in my last house. I was just putting it to use. I have two of the same one, the other is in my bedroom. In the living room is a 52" DLP, cause that's the sh1t. :)

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

They know me, that's all. :)
They're good people. No punks in the neighborhood. When one passes by, I talk to them. I know where all the junkies are, and we've come to an understanding as well.
It'll work out okay. :tu

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

Very nice... I guess if you go out of town you'll bring it inside?

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

I don't go out of town. If I do, there's always someone here anyways.
I imagine it'll be worn out in the next few weeks anyways. :)

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

Wow shilala. My ManPorch is complete with what must be a 13 inch TV that originally belonged to my wife's grandmother. I'm guessing it's a good 20+ years old. It's retro chic. :r

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

http://smileys.on-my-web.com/reposit...prised-038.gif .WOW!!

Your ManPorch makes my mini-mancave look insignificant!!! :D

Nice Job, Scott! :tu




:dance:

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

I mamnaged to get all the glitches worked out this morning and got all my Steam games downloaded.
I also got hooked up with a hotter dual core cpu AND I figured out what kind of ram I need so I can add another gig.
As soon as I get time to get the tv speakers hooked up to the sound card, I'm going global with this thing.

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

Like granddaddy said, "You can't hide money!"
:fu

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

:r:r Big pimpin.

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

It's all stuff that was laying around the house, brother.
Add some mootching, sell some cigars, and pull some favors, and it's pretty incredible what a guy can get done. :}

Re: Somewhat Signifigant ManPorch Upgrade.
 

I don't even have a flat screen in my HOUSE, let alone on my porch!!!

Color me jealous.
